  • ℉ and Celsius ℃ come fully assembled as a single character One of my biggest annoyances is seeing the degree glyph

    The Unicode Consortium disagrees with you. ℉ and ℃ are included for round-trip convertibility, they are compatibility characters. That doesn’t mean you’re not supposed to use them, but the decomposition of ℉ is ° + F, which does mean they are equivalent and that it is correct to use ° for both angles and temperatures.

    It’s like how hyphen-minus has two very different uses but is one character.






  • It’s good for email and personal sites (those aren’t dead, but they’re more popular for people that either write a lot or are self-employed). I’d only use a personal domain for self hosted apps if the users are just you and your family.

    For something like hosting Lemmy, with users you don’t know, I wouldn’t use the same domain as where you host your other personal stuff, even if it’s not your name.
